Accident

In July 2017, the Fire Ball ride broke apart at the Ohio State Fair, resulting in one death and seven injuries. Following the incident, the operator of the fair ride, Amusements of America, settled multiple lawsuits with the victims of the incident, including settlements for 1.7 million and 1.3 million dollars. As of 2019, an additional lawsuit against KMG has been filed by the victims, alleging that the ride manufacturer concealed a catastrophic defect that led to the tragedy.
